Driving home from work the other night, I found myself wondering why. After all, this is the life we chose. We bought a farm because we wanted a slower pace, meaningful work, and more time together. We wanted a place where family could come visit, where we could grow good food, and where at the end of the day, we felt like we accomplished something worthwhile. So how did I end up so worn out? The last month has just been project after project. We finished a new chicken coop,...]]></description><link>https://www.tanglefootfarm.com/post/the-weeds-can-wait-living-the-life-you-re-building</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a50c6b8c825eeae6a90a144</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:15:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2c68a3_50be0ae1ed304d8fafe659570f556ef3~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_870,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Cori</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[It Takes a Village...to Catch a Goat]]></title><description><![CDATA[Today was Market Day. Market days start early around here. Really early. By 4:30 a.m. I've usually slugged down enough caffeine to become functional and I'm trying to finish all the little jobs I should have finished the day before. Labels to print, produce to pack, flowers to arrange, coolers to pack—it's controlled chaos, and somehow it usually all comes together.

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that can make their way into our environment, our water, and unfortunately, our food supply. Scientists are still studying exactly what long-term exposure means for human health, but one thing is clear: reducing unnecessary exposure is a smart and practical step. The good news?
